“Likely to be cancelled” on Swiss website?
Good day! I have a trip coming up with Swiss on an AC ticket. Today when I was checking my itinerary I noticed this:
There doesn’t seem to be a link to further details, and the flights are all showing confirmed and on time (today is only T-3.5 though). Interestingly enough, this only shows on the mobile site. The Swiss app or the full pc site do not indicate this at all, and nothing shows on AC’s portals either. This is my first time seeing this, does anyone have some better insights or experience on how concerned I should be? Thanks for your input in advance!

I doubt either of them will be cancelled; both flights are reasonably full and there's nothing other than that label to suggest it—which I've never seen before. Cancelling this close to departure would be expensive for Swiss.

Much appreciate your input - I was thinking the exact same as the flights were not in any way too empty, and I can't see another reason for them to cancel them considering the EU is moving towards the positive direction re COVID restrictions, but guess we shall see!

Thanks for your insight - this indeed seemed very random to me and I guess I'll see in the next few days..🤞

Like, I appreciate the proactiveness if the flights are truly at risk of being cancelled, but at least give me a reason or specify which flight I have to worry about?

Not sure if this is related in any way but the Austrian news site orf.at had an article yesterday about airlines and -ports missing staff after the pandemic for the upcoming summer season.
The article states that Swiss is planning to cancel some longhaul flights next to shorthaul flights.
"Trotzdem plant die Swiss im Sommer weitere Flugstreichungen im „tiefen einstelligen Prozentbereich“. Bei den Langstreckenflügen seien folgende Ziele betroffen: New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapur, Hongkong, Dubai und Johannesburg." (unfortunately in German only)
